Frank Ocean Is the World’s Cutest Babushka

Frank Ocean graced the new cover of GQ, and the rare interview that he granted the publication touched on everything from the midterm elections to his newly public Instagram and his skin-care routine (he recommends a retinol). He touched on fashion, too, describing his ideal New Year’s Eve outfit, which he actually wanted for his birthday: python Balenciaga pants, a form-fitting pink tank top, and cowboy boots with a chrome toe.

Ocean’s party outfit may sound quite fun and youthful, but when he’s FaceTiming friends, it turns out he can activate a drastically different sartorial mode: your grandmother. Ocean posted a photo to his Instagram earlier today that shows him smiling in a silky, gold chain–printed scarf wrapped around his head, like a proper babushka, and covered up with a deep green hoodie. He captioned the photo: “FaceTimes in babushka.” Considering A$AP Rocky similarly rocked a Gucci scarf on the red carpet in Los Angeles just a few months back, maybe the silk head scarf is poised to become hip-hop’s go-to headwear this year. For now, though, one thing is certain: Ocean can pull just about anything off.
